a classic song. i believe this is about janet's first husband james, but i'm not sure.
it is about being in a relationship with someone who looks for the thrills in life. he goes out at night trying to live it up by breaking the law. he lives by his own rules like a stray black cat.
i believe the nine lives symbolize the risk of getting caught. everytime he does something illegal, he loses a life and the "man" gets ever closer to catching him. he probably lives for the adrenaline rush of almost getting caught. he may also partake in things that could get him killed literally if he's not careful (drugs, violence, etc.). all the while, she's convincing herself that she needs to get out of the relationship before things get carried away.
